Delta Airlines — Hub Terminal Swap

Chrysalis coordinated what Delta called "one of the largest terminal moves in the history of commercial aviation." Delta Air Lines relocated its operations from Terminals 5 and 6 to Terminals 2 and 3 at Los Angeles International Airport, the world's sixth-busiest passenger airport in 2022. The terminal swap included a significant coordination effort with 50 different entities, including 28 airlines and more than two dozen service providers. Delta Air Lines, with assistance from the Chrysalis team, completed the move as part of a $2 billion project that will provide a better experience for Delta passengers at its west-coast hub airport. Chrysalis worked closely with the airlines and tenants, along with the construction team, architects, engineers, and information technology team at the airport. Chrysalis served as the primary liaison between these groups during the course of the modernization effort. Under Chrysalis leadership, three overnight moves — alongside dozens of supporting, enabling moves — were completed with no canceled or delayed flights, no operational disruptions, and without injury.

After sketching out different relocation plans, we settled on the most aggressive one. Move seven airlines a night on three nights over five days. The Chrysalis team made it happen.
